Online 3D simulation of the Solar System and night sky in real-time - the Sun, planets, dwarf planets, comets, stars and constellations

Visualize orbits, relative positions and movements of the Solar System objects in an interactive 3D Solar System viewer and simulator.

Visualizations of Astronomical Events, Space Missions, Earth Maps and older Solar System Scope versions.

2025年1月9日 · NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration. Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system.

An orrery is a model of the solar system that shows the positions of the planets along their orbits around the Sun. The chart above shows the Sun at the centre, surrounded by the solar system's innermost planets.

Our journey starts right here, on our very own life-logged planet, Earth. As we embark on this space voyage, we’ll traverse through the neighboring rocky planets, glide past the incredible asteroid belt, and sweep across the majestic giants, their icy rings and numerous satellites.

2024年10月11日 · In this project, you'll create your own solar system out of playdough to learn how the planets formed. Get to know our solar system and what makes it so special by visiting NASA's Solar System Exploration website and exploring the interactive below.

Making and exploring a more accurate scale model Solar System (or at least part of one) can help students and the public better understand the vastness of space and the challenges of space exploration. These are classic activities/displays for use by all: in classrooms, planetariums, museums, libraries, etc.

Watch our solar system come to life in this interactive 3D simulation map. View the planets in their orbit from different angles with the constellations

Explore the Solar System in 3D. Planets and constellations will come to life before you. With an astronomical compass, navigate the stars and planets in real time. The Earth revolves around the Sun at a speed of 29.78 km / s, making a complete revolution in 365.25 solar days (sidereal year).
